US Patent:
20120276145, Nov 1, 2012
Filed:
Mar 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/431592
Inventors:
Paul Webster - Pasadena CA, US
Siva Wu - South Pasadena CA, US
James Kerwin - Moss Beach CA, US
Assignee:
HOUSE RESEARCH INSTITUTE - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
G01N 33/573

US Classification:
4242561, 435 34, 506 18, 506 9, 435 23, 435 74, 530350, 435220, 435193, 435196, 435194, 435233, 435189
Abstract:
A method of identifying a biofilm that includes non-typeable (NTHi) including a step of screening a sample for the presence of one or more biofilm-specific proteins that are expressed by NTHi. In some cases, an NTHi biofilm-related disease in a subject is diagnosed. Also disclosed are protein microarrays for screening biofilm-specific proteins in a sample, formulations comprising one or more biofilm-specific proteins or fragments thereof, and methods for inducing an immune response in a patient against a biofilm-related infection.

Abstract:
Nanoscale stress-sensing can be used across fields ranging from detection of incipient cracks in structural mechanics to monitoring forces in biological tissues. We demonstrate how tetrapod quantum dots (tQDs) embedded in block-copolymers act as sensors of tensile/compressive stress. Remarkably, tQDs can detect their own composite dispersion and mechanical properties, with a switch in optomechanical response when tQDs are in direct contact. Using experimental characterizations, atomistic simulations and finite-element analyses, we show that under tensile stress, densely-packed tQDs exhibit a photoluminescence peak shifted to higher energies (“blue-shift”) due to volumetric compressive stress in their core; loosely-packed tQDs exhibit a peak shifted to lower energies (“red-shift”) from tensile stress in the core. The stress-shifts result from the tQD's unique branched morphology in which the CdS arms act as antennas that amplify the stress in the CdSe core. Our nanocomposites exhibit excellent cyclability and scalability with no degraded properties of the host polymer. Colloidal tQDs allow sensing in many materials to potentially enable auto-responsive, smart structural nanocomposites that self-predict impending fracture.
